Introduction
The STILLWATER R/C FLYERS is a model aircraft club made up of a diverse cross section of Stillwater area residents. We have members with 30 years experience in modeling, as well as beginners. Individual interests include sport flying, gliders, scale models, ducted fans, electric powered models, helicopters, pylon racing, slope soaring, rubber powered models, and aerobatics. Membership Benefits Club membership allows use of the club flying field. Members share in the maintenance, minimizing the amount of work for a given individual. Monthly meetings give members an opportunity to display their latest aircraft and exchange building techniques with others.
We have an entertaining and informative library of video tapes on model aircraft. These videos cover many aspects of building and flying model aircraft. There are several flight instructors to aid beginners in preparing and flying their first aircraft. Club members can offer expert advice on model selection, construction, engine and radio selection. Experienced R/C pilots can test fly, trim, and advise you on your radio controlled model airplane.
Club meetings are on the third Thursday of each month. Summer meetings are held at the flying field. Winter meetings are held at an indoor site (see contacts for further information). At summer meetings, we have 'fun-fly' events such as spot landing, balloon bust, timed flight, touch-n-go's, bomb drop, limbo and new events are in the planning stage.
At least once each summer, we have a cookout at the flying field, where we socialize, eat, and fly. We have informal flying sessions on weekend afternoons throughout the year and members can use the field at any time. Field Location Google Maps to Flying Field
How to Join Club membership dues are $15 per year for individuals classified as Open or Senior AMA members. Dues are $5 for Junior AMA members who do not reside with an Open or Senior AMA member. Due to insurance requirements of the land owner, membership in the ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS (AMA) is also required to use the club field. AMA membership is $58 per year for Open members, $48 for Seniors over 65 and $15 for Juniors (see AMA membership application for details). You may obtain an AMA membership application from the contact persons listed in this brochure or download an application from the AMA Web Site Who to Contact If you are a beginner, please contact one of the club officers, preferably before buying a radio, engine, or airplane. Improper equipment can be costly and impede your progress towards becoming a proficient model aviator. If you are interested in joining or would like further information, please contact one of the club officers.
